Ligue 1 Boring? I Don’t Think So!
By: Inara |We didn’t think the start of the season could come soon enough, but it’s finally here! Tomorrow is the Trophée des champions (French Supercup), the traditional opener to the Ligue 1 season.
To get back into the right frame of mind, here is a great compilation recapping the previous year (download the high quality version here). [...]
Reason #2986 that Jeremy Toulalan is so awesome
By: Inara |Excuse this blatant excuse to pimp Jeremy Toulalan some more, but I can’t help myself. Thanks to the amazing detective powers of Jennifer, we now have further proof of Toulalan’s adorableness dorkiness.
Please watch the following video (at the 11 second mark) to see La Toule show off his moves. It’s short, so if you blink, [...]
Sekret Stadium Tour
By: Inara |It’s a slow news day, so while we’re stuck twiddling our thumbs for Sebastien Squillaci’s transfer to Sevilla to be finalized, here is a short, two minute video tour of the Stade de Gerland. It’s an “insiders” tour, meaning you get to see some of the VIP suites as well as restricted areas such as [...]
Lyon 3- 2 Nimes: So the 4-3-3…Yeah
By: Inara |Lyon had their first summer friendly this afternoon against Nimes in Albertville. Goals were scored by Juninho (10), Yannis Tafer (40), and Anthony Mounier (63). This was Claude Puel’s first match in charge, and for many of the players, their first match in an OL jersey. And speaking of jerseys, as you can see, Lyon [...]
Juninho’s WUNDERGOAL Against Sedan
By: Inara |Juninho doesn’t just look like Jesus. He’s also got his divine powers. How else to explain this last minute free kick that defies the laws of physics, wins the game for Lyon, and propels the club to their first French Cup final in 33 years?
This is Juninho’s 38th free kick goal for Lyon in [...]

By: Inara |I present to you the resurgence of Kader Keita…
Goals: Lyon (Keita 20, 38; Fred 35)
Not Again! Manchester United 1 - 0 Lyon
By: Inara |I really don’t want to write a post match review (notice how I tend to avoid doing those for games that Lyon lose?), but I have to be brave and face up the fact that last night, Lyon once again fell short of their - and our - expectations.
Side note: do you guys believe that [...]
Winning Makes Me Feel Good
By: Inara |It feels like forever since the last time Lyon not only won a game, but did so with a clean sheet. The last three Lyon games have been rather depressing, with the last two games resulting in heavy losses, with an understrength Le Mans dumping us out of the League Cup and Lens humiliating us [...]
Dejection
By: Inara |I think the picture below sums up how I feel.
Someone give Juninho a tissue. And give me one too.
Goals: Le Mans (Matsui 28)
